Discuss the Latest Developments and Application Areas

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–O’Reilly,
the premier source for insight-driven learning on technology and
business, and Google
today announced the inaugural TensorFlow
World, a four-day conference that brings together the vibrant and
growing TensorFlow ecosystem, covering its use in data centers, in
mobile phones, by researchers and in industry. Co-presented by O’Reilly
and the TensorFlow team, the conference will be held from October 28-31
in Santa Clara, CA.

Growing from its origins at Google, TensorFlow
is an entire end-to-end open source machine learning ecosystem, covering
many platforms and programming languages in industry, education and
research. Through detailed case studies and informative sessions, the
event will explore the latest developments in TensorFlow, from research
to production, in addition to highlighting popular application areas,
including healthcare, finance, robotics, IoT and more.

“We’re excited to partner with Google to host the first TensorFlow event
of this scale,” said Ben Lorica, O’Reilly Chief Data Scientist and
TensorFlow World co-chair. “This new conference will highlight
TensorFlow’s diverse community of machine learning users and the unique
projects they’re working on. Our aim is to foster discussion on new ways
to apply and accelerate machine learning.”

“TensorFlow has fueled extraordinary success in deep learning and
machine learning projects,” said Edd Wilder-James, Open Source
Strategist at Google and TensorFlow World co-chair. “As TensorFlow
continues to evolve, we want to bring together the entire community so
they can share valuable insights, learn from each other’s success and,
in turn, build upon those positive outcomes to find new ways to create
and deploy machine learning models.”

TensorFlow World is currently seeking speaking proposals from machine
learning practitioners, developers, product managers, researchers and
business leaders to share their experience with TensorFlow on stage.
Those who use TensorFlow to build their organization’s products or
services, deploy TensorFlow to push the boundaries of what is possible,
